堅強的意志力 XD Day 6 - Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Friday, May 28, 2010 Q. You felt quite a lot of emotion at the end of the match. Is there any particular reason? Is it a special game for you? Special match for you. JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Emotion, yes, because I suffered a lot during this match. It was hard. All along the match I was trying to think about something else than the pain I was feeling. So that's why. Q. How can you play beyond the pain? JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Well, by telling yourself it doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. Every 10 seconds you go, It doesn't hurt. I'll go for it. It doesn't hurt. I knew this was something that couldn't go worse, so there was no reason for me to quit. But it was painful, and it was difficult when I had to change direction, when he was getting me wrong footed. When I had to move from one side to the other I had difficulties especially on my forehand. But then I fought, and at the end of the day, it made the difference because I think he also had difficult matches before. He had slightly less experience, and I think, well, he couldn't make it at the end. Q. Had you lost the second set, did you feel you had the strength to come back had you been two sets down? JO WILFRIED TSONGA: I would have fought till the end, whatever. The day I quit, it's just because it's impossible, a bit like in Madrid when I just couldn't play. I couldn't. There it was painful, but I knew it couldn't get any worse; whereas in Madrid I knew I had this problem with my back, and I knew if I had to make some movements, it would have taken me more time to recover. Q. This match was a bit the competition of the most beautiful dropshot. We had lots of beautiful dropshots. JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Well, Thiemo does play a lot of dropshots, and sometimes you have counterdropshots. In a five set match, dropshots are part of the game, because it makes the other run. It wears you out really. After the 15th dropshot you're worn out. But I knew I would be present. I wouldn't give up. So I did what I could, and I started playing dropshots and thinking, Well, if he starts getting tired, then I can take the lead because I can't be all that punchy today. Q. You said that this muscle problem is more linked to the stress. JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Yes. Well, it's a muscle problem which is linked to stress, but it's a muscle problem. Q. Will it be manageable for Sunday? JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Yes, it's not because I was tired. I think it was more because well, I was a bit nervous, and when you're a bit nervous, it makes things a bit worse. Well, then, yeah, it was a bit of a difficulty of a handicap for me. But it's a muscle issue. When it's just that, you can take a rest, it's gonna be okay. Q. But today is Friday night. You are the last French player in the draw. What's your comment? Because, well, it's a bit of a habit, you being the last one left. This time it's a bit early. JO WILFRIED TSONGA: What do I feel about it? Well, it's sad. It's sad the others didn't make it. I was sad seeing Richard losing, because I had made a bet. I thought he would make it here. As for Gaël yesterday, it was a bit difficult. It was hard. He never managed to really be back in the match after they had to stop because of the night. So for him it's a shame, as well. Well, I'm doing my job, and I hope I'll be even better for the next round. Q. When did you start feeling that pain? JO WILFRIED TSONGA: End of the second set, 5 All. Eric says it's on a dropshot. I started sliding, and maybe that's when it happened. I don't know. But I started feeling it at the end, and you know, it became more intense. At the beginning it really it was just very little nagging me. Then little by little it started hurting and being very painful. Q. Wasn't it also something that helped you relax? JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Well, yes. It was a blessing in disguise, because instead of thinking of all the points I had in my racquet and never scored, I was focusing on my pain. That's what made it possible for me to stop thinking too much and be back in the match. Q. Is this why you were more offensive on the third and fourth set, because you were trying to play shorter rallies? JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Yes, because as I couldn't run that much with my leg, I started trying to manage the game, impose my game, be the master on the court. Yes, it was relaxing at the end because I played better than when I was in totally good shape. Then I think Thiemo also started to feel a bit tired, because at the beginning he would hit his ball much stronger. At the end, I was okay. Q. Before you had this pain during the first set you were shaking your left wrist. What does it mean? JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Well, sometimes I would block my wrist, the left wrist. I don't know why, because I don't use it that much except for my backhand. But sometimes it's a bit painful and I shake it. It goes away. Q. So it's a small pain that comes and goes, but it's not linked to tension or stress? JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Well, it's probably linked to stress, but I don't control everything. So, you know, it sometimes happens. Some players would cramp because of stress. Others feel pain. That's the way it is. Q. What's your schedule for tomorrow, to be at the top on Sunday against Troicki or Youzhny? JO WILFRIED TSONGA: Hey, that's my secret. I can't tell you everything, otherwise everybody would do the same. But it's going to be rest, mostly. Q. Are you going to ask the organizers to schedule you as late as possible? JO WILFRIED TSONGA: No, not particularly, because I'll be ready to play on Sunday. And anyway, I know I won't be playing before 11:00 in the morning. -- ┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐ │███ ███ ███ █ █ ██◣ ███│ │█▇▇ █▇▇ █ █ █ █ █ █▇▇│ │█▇▇ ▇▇█ ███ ███ ██◤ █▇▇│ ╰───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───╯ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 94.195.203.50
